FROM SUCCESSFUL FAMILY

Good Cheer, , surprise winner of the Tapuata Hack Handicap at Woodville-last Saturday, has not had a very heavy rac-. ing career, despite her eight years, and it is- quite-probable that there; are further winning . efforts in-.'heri'Syet.-.' She looks a.type.of mare-who rilight make good as a jumper.. Sa'turday'sywas' actually her first success, but;after.'.a?'few: starts as a! three and four-year-old 'sh.e. was off the scene till a couple, of monthsvago... She is now being raced and traineej l; by Mi1. B. P. Brooker, of Waipukurau. •- On breeding there is quite a lot to recommend this mare, even though very few horses may be the epitome of their pedigree. She is a bay mare by Psychology; from .Taringamutu's Kilbroney daughter Tatau Tatau, the. dam also of the East Coaster Nahi, and she descends from the famed Idalia taproot, -which has given the New Zealand Turf such notable performers as Sir Modred, Betrayer, Bonnie Scotland (A.J.C. .Cerb'y),' Bridge (New Zealand Cup), Loyalty (G.N. Derby), etc., as well as more recently Jvilboyne, Kil-, rea, Murihiku, Justify, and a host of others. Taringamutu.;! (Wairarapa Cup) and Tatau Tatau \veve themselves- both good racing mares, and they have carried on one^of the few remaining extant lines of this excellent. family. ■■.-'. ,
